2. Probation A sentence whereby a convict is released from confinement but is still under court supervision; a testing or a trial period. Probation can be given in lieu of a prison term or can suspend a prison sentence if the convict has consistently demonstrated good behavior.

3. Probation Revocation Hearing… When an offender is released on parole, he becomes a “release” on conditional release. Some restrictions are imposed on him as his release is on condition. Whenever the court has reason to believe you violated your probation, the court can revoke probation.

4. Probation Revocation Hearing You will always be given a hearing before the court, at which time you can challenge the accusation that you violated probation. Once probation is revoked, you can receive any sentence that the court could have imposed after conviction.

5. Revocation Hearing Rights You are entitled to certain rights at your probation revocation hearing such as the right to counsel, the right to confront and cross-examine your accuser, usually your probation officer or other arresting officer.

6. Reinstatement of Probation If you have violated your probation, the court has the power to reinstate probation on either the same conditions or new conditions. Unless your probation violation is serious, like committing a violent felony, the court will often reinstate probation for a first or even second violation.

7. Termination of Probation Some states allow you to petition for early termination of your probation if you address the major conditions of your probation, such as paying restitution or completing a treatment program.
